Bath time fun.  These two are always up for a bath.  And Zev totally reminds me of Brandon with that on his head.

The boys can spend hours playing army’s outside.  Notice how Zev is the enemy outside of the army base.

Zev crashed at the diaper changing station.

Landon’s school does an egg drop every year.  This year we packaged it up in a box with a whole lot of packaging noodles and tons of duck tape.  We then added a sticker and a big “L” so that we could tell when his was getting dropped.  Proud to say his egg survived the drop.

Gunner made me not want to fold my HUGE laundry pile.

Van is playing another season of soccer.  He is kind of liking it.  He like to give direction to his teammates.  Sometimes you have to remind him to run and stop talking Smile

Zev’s First Birthday!

I went with the sock monkey theme since he love’s his sock monkey’s.  Grandma Merkley made an adorable, yummy cake.

Happy Birthday Little Dude.  You sure did accomplish a lot in your first year.  You have one word, Dad, but you have some awful scream that gets your point across.  You have been walking since 10 months.  You have no problems keeping up with your brothers.  You are happiest when you are outside.  You sure are a busy boy and we all LOVE you!!
